Chapter 12: Christmas with the Li's and training talk

Christmas day dawned with a bright clear sky and a slight chilly breeze blowing though the grounds of the Li mansion despite the normally warm weather in Hong Kong. Mia Lay in her bed turning over slightly to stop the sunlight from hurting her eyes as it shone through a gap in her curtains. Next minute she was woken once again by someone bouncing on her bed except this time someone was laughing and it wasn't the bouncer. Mia sat up sleepily as Kari landed on her knees on the bed. "Ohayo Mia!" she exclaimed "Merry Christmas".

"Merry Christmas Kari chan," Mia said as she climbed out of bed. It was them she noticed who it was that had been laughing. Wolf stood in his pyjama trousers and his hair stood at odd angles having been ruffled in his sleep. He seemed to still be half asleep and had not yet noticed the absence of his top. This made Mia blush and she said, "Ohayo Wolf, so I guess you just woke up as well".

"Yep... How'd you know?" he asked stifling a yawn.

"Because you haven't put a top on yet,"

"Hoooeee," Wolf cried and ran out of Mia's room and dove back into his own room to find a top. Mia appeared at the door to his room a couple of minutes later wearing a lilac robe just as Wolf was putting his shirt on. "Ohayo Mia chan, Merry Christmas" he said hugging her and pressing a kiss to her cheek.

"Merry Christmas Wolf," Mia replied and hugged and kissed him back.

"So did you sleep well," Wolf asked and Mia nodded back as they entered the breakfast room where the rest of the family were already having breakfast. "Ohayo minna san, Merry Christmas," Mia said. She had gotten so used to the Li household now and found that she was like by everyone. She had spent time with everyone in the family at one point or another. She loved her life in the Li household but she knew it wouldn't be long until they went back to Japan and their little time of peace would be over.

That morning was very busy for everyone. Yelan had made a habit of sending the servants off for Christmas holidays so she, Sakura, Meilin, Futtie, Fanren, Sheifa and Feimie worked together to cook all the food for that day. The children where all in the garden. When Syaoran had been a young boy Yelan had a tradition of hiding small Chinese dolls in the garden, which the children had to follow special clues to find. The dolls were meant to bring good luck for the coming year. The tradition had stuck to that day so the elder children or teens were helping the younger children find the dolls. The men or most of them anyway, were in the main dinning hall putting up more decorations. Two of the men however were missing. Touya and Yukito sat on the roof of the mansion, Yue having flown them up there so that the two could be alone. "So Yuki are you enjoying your Christmas yet," Touya asked.

"Yeah demo I've been waiting forever to spend sometime with you without any disturbances," Yukito replied nuzzling Touya's neck while playing with the top buttons of his shirt. "Me too Yuki," Touya replied and lifted Yukito's head to place a soft kiss on his partners lips. This started a short make out session between the two. They were so preoccupied with each other that they didn't notice two large white wings wrapping around them so that they were hidden against the white painted roof. Apparently Yue was still on alert as he spoke to Yukito through his head saying that the children were returning. "I think it's time to inside Koishii," Yukito mumbled against Touya's lips as the wings disappeared. Touya's arms were around his waist and they moved to his upper back and his hands imbedded themselves in Yukito's hair. "They'll call us when they need us Yuki, Let's just stay here a while longer. We don't get much time to ourselves without the kids or work getting in the way," Touya replied combing Yukito's hair with his long fingers. Yukito never got a chance to reply as Touya pulled him back into another heated kiss.

About half an hour later everyone had come in to change into their outfits for Christmas lunch. Mia stood in her room looking at the black dress, 2 inch black heels and orange shawl which lay on the bed in front of her. There was a soft knock on the door. "Come in," Mia said and watched as Yelan entered the room.

"Konban wa Mia," she said

"Konban wa Yelan sama" Mia replied

"There is no need for the sama Mia, Yelan will do,"

"Gomen, Yelan, I'm just not used to calling people by their first name,"

"Zem zem Mia," Yelan said and chuckling softly she picked up the dress and shawl. "I was wondering where this had gotten to."

"When is it from Yelan, It looks very expensive and not very new" Mia asked fingering the cloth of the dress.

"Oh it's about 20 years old now I think. This is the same dress that Yingfa wore to Xiao Lang's 16th birthday party and the announcement of their engagement," Yelan replied.

"Honto? Should I really be wearing it then?"

"Of course you should be wearing it. Yingfa obviously wants you to wear it. You mean a lot to Lang you know, I don't think I've ever seen him so happy. You two remind me of Yingfa and Xiao Lang when the two came over here for Xiao Lang's birthday. The only difference was their adventure was over while yours is just beginning."

"To tell you the truth Yelan, I'm kind of scared,"

"You have no need to be Mia, because I have decided that while you're here if you are agreeable I will train you to use your powers,"

"Oh that would be great Yelan, Arigato"

"It's not a problem Mai. Now let's get you dressed. It's nearly time to eat," Yelan finished handing Mia the dress.

All the men sat in the main dinning room waiting for Yelan and the rest of the ladies to bring in the food. Soon everyone was sat at the table which was loaded with food of all types. There was turkey, goose, chicken, pork, noodles, rice, potatoes (which were either mashes, boiled or roast), kilted sausages, stuffing, gravy and much more. Most of the adults and the older teens had alcohol of some sort and the children and younger teens had soft drinks or water. Yelan stood and made the necessary speech before inviting everyone to begin eating. The room was then filled with a slight chatter and Kari in particular as she said "yum" to everything she put in her mouth. When everyone was finished with the main meal Sakura and Yelan left to collect the deserts while Futtie, Fanren, Sheifa and Feimie cleared the table. Soon there was a ring of the front door bell and a yell when the door was opened. Mia watched as Wolf's head bolted in the direction of the dinning room door. "CASPIAN!" he yelled as a tall man with grizzled brown and grey streaked hair and wide, wild looking eyes entered the room. His clothes sort of reminded Mia of the Indiana Jones character she had seen in a movie she and wolf had watched a couple of weeks before. "Hey there people, how are you all?" he said jovially.

"Uncle Caspian," Wolf said leaping from his chair and running full pelt down the room in an attempt to knock Caspian to the ground. But as usual Caspian was strong as he was tall and he took Wolf into a hug as the boy collided with him. "Hey there Whorlwind, have you put on a growth spurt my lad, you'll be taller than me soon," Caspian said ruffling Wolf's hair.

"Yep,"

"So Wolf tell me, who's the Sapphire eyed beauty over there?"

"That's Mia, Uncle Caspian, she's my girlfriend,"

"Really well she's a really beauty, I see you taking after you father in more ways than one" Caspian whispered before continuing "Off you go back to your seat, Sakura and Yelan will be back with desert soon." Caspian watched as Wolf ran back to his seat and settle back kissed Mia on the cheek. He then noticed that Mia and Wolf were wearing the same outfits that Syaoran and Sakura had worn the first time he met Sakura and he smiled at the memory. "Hey Caspian," Syaoran said and gave his uncle a hug. Everyone else started saying hello until the last one left was Kari. Just like with Wolf's name Kari also had trouble saying Caspian's. "Uncy Casper," she squealed pattering across the floor to be picked up by Caspian for a hug. "Hey there care bear," he said before placing her back in her seat. Sakura and Yelan soon joined them and desert was served.

During the deserts the family once again chatted amongst themselves. As soon as they were finished their Double chocolate fudge cake Wolf asked if he, Mia, Shinji and Alara could leave the table. That done they made their way outside putting on their coats as they went. Wolf led them to an ivy hidden door way which lead into a huge hedge maze. They made their way through the maze getting lost several times and ended up getting to the middle where they found a small hut with blue curtains in the windows. "Eko minna," Wolf said opening the door and leading Mia inside. There was a raised fire pit in the middle of the room surrounded by cushions and pillows and a small kitchenette was off at the side. A sign just above the door read "Wolf's den".

"Sugio Wolf this place is cool," Shinji said looking around before pulling Alara down on the cushions with him. She squealed slightly before curling up in his lap. Wolf and Mia soon followed their example and they sat quietly for a few minutes. "That meal was so good," Alara said with a contented purr.

"I agree with you there Alara, I'm so full I can barely move," Mia added smiling up at Wolf.

"Yeah so when should we exchange presents Wolf? Do we had to wait for your family," Shinji asked.

"My Otousan should be ringing the bed at the beginning of the maze soon. He said this morning that he'd bring all our presents from the family down on a couple of sledges. We just have to go get them from the maze entrance," Wolf explained as an old bell near the door jingled signalling the arrival of the sledges. "Can you come help me with the sledges Shinji, they're probably loaded," Wolf added.

"Sure Wolf, oh yeah I forgot to say that I've bought my presents down for you guys with me" Shinji replied holding up a bag. The other three smiled and held a bag each as well. With that Wolf and Shinji left the hut to retrieve the sledges.

A couple of minutes later the boys came back through the hut door their arms full of carrier bags which were full of presents of all sizes. They set then down near the door and settled back on the cushions as Mia handed out 4 mugs of steaming hot chocolate and mini marshmallows. "Sugio are all these presents really for us?" Alara asked after taking a sip of hot chocolate. "They sure are," Wolf answered before starting to hand out the presents. Once they had finished with the main lot of presents they gave each other their presents. Alara had given them all a personalised picture frame with a picture of the disco they were at the week before. Shinji gave Wolf a t-shirt, Mia a silk scarf and Alara a beautiful diamond pendant and a moon charm for her charm bracelet. Mia gave Alara and Shinji matching t-shirts and Wolf a leather jacket with a wolf's head on the back. Wolf gave Shinji a pair of dark blue biker gloves with his name stitched into the wrists in silver, Alara got a dark angel figurine with black wings and black clothes and finally he got Mia a necklace with 2 wolves forming the Ying yang symbol and a wolf charm for her charm bracelet. Once they had finished with the presents Alara and Shinji decided to go have some fun in the maze while Wolf and Mia stayed inside. Mia and Wolf sat back on the large cushions, Mia sitting between Wolf's legs, he back against his chest. "Are you comfortable Wolf? I'm not squashing you am I?" she asked.

"Iie, I'm fine as long as you happy," Wolf replied hugging her to him.

"Well no worries there, I'm happy," Mia sighed sinking further into Wolf's embrace. "I just can't believe all that's happened since you arrive that first day at school," she added a moment later.

"Yeah me neither and to think you were the only one in the class apart from Terada sensei who didn't try to call me by my first name or something," Wolf said staring off into space as Mia giggled before kissing under his chin. This knocked him back to his senses and he kissed her cheek. Mia giggled again and the giggles turned into full blown laughter as Wolf began to tickle her. Mia squirmed in an attempted to get away. "Wolf...onegai Wolf...stop...I can't breath," Mia chocked out between fits of laughter. She got away from him eventually and ran all the while Wolf leapt over cushions to get her. When he finally caught up with her, she smacked him on the head with a pillow starting an all out pillow fight.

Shinji and Alara were having similar fun chasing each other around the maze. They soon tired themselves out and landed in a heap on the grass. "That was fun," Alara said breathing heavily and her breath coming out as puffs of steam. "Yeah, it definitely was," Shinji agreed a chuckle in his voice. The next thing Mia knew Shinji had lifted her up and they were about 10 feet above the ground flying towards the roof of the Li mansion. They soon landed and Alara sat herself on Shinji's lap straddling him so the she could face him. "So nani do you want to do now kitten?" Shinji asked his wings wrapping around them to shield them from the chilly wind that blew their hair around causing the silver and blonde tendrils to wrap around one another. Alara's answer was to press a kiss to Shinji's cheek. Slowly she moved his kisses down to his neck. Shinji pulled her closer and processed to do the same. After a few minutes they stopped and were both sporting major love bites. Shinji leaned in and kissed her soundly on the lips hugging her to him. When they broke apart Alara sighed happily and leaned her head on Shinji's shoulder. She was happy and was quite content to be with Shinji for if she was his kitten then he was her angel.

Shinji and Alara arrived back at the hut about half an hour later to find Mia and Wolf asleep on the pile of cushions. They seemed to have been sitting together, Mia on Wolf's lap and had fallen asleep that way. The place was very quiet until the phone went off. "Moshi moshi Shinji desu," Shinji said when he picked up the phone.

Moshi moshi Syaoran desu. Shinji can you tell Alara, Mia and Wolf that it's time to come and get ready for the party," Syaoran answered.

"Hai uncle Syaoran will do,"

"Arigato Shinji,"

"Zem zem uncle Syaoran ja," Shinji finished and down the phone down. "Oke love birds time to wake up," he said.

"Yeah come on you two it's party time," Alara agreed nudging Wolf with her foot. Mia cracked open an eye and moaning about wanting more sleep turned to burry her head deeper into Wolf's chest. His arms responded by wrapping tighter around her slender body. "Come on you two, get the hell up," Alara said again and Mia's eyes opened once again. She then realised that they must have fallen asleep and kissing Wolf's nose said "Wolf kun, it's time to wake up Koi".

"Iie we're staying right here," Wolf mumbled back sleepily. Mia knew that there was only one way to wake him. She lifted herself up a bit and planted a soft kiss on his lips and Wolf's eyes opened. "Come on Wolf kun, let's go and get ready for the party, I want to dance," Mia said.

"Hai, hai, I'm up Mia chan," Wolf answered sitting up and kissing Mia's cheek. The four teens then made their way back to the house to dress in their traditional Japanese or Chinese outfits for the party.

At around 7 o'clock people started to arrive and soon enough the hall was full. At around 7:30 Mia watched with Shinji, Alara and everyone else as Yelan, Syaoran, Sakura, Nade and Wolf came down the stairs and knelt in front of the door as 5 cloaked and hooded figures came through the door. Sakura, Yelan and Nade were dresses in beautiful dresses of different colours while Wolf and Syaoran wore blue and green versions of the Li robes (Syaoran's cardcaptor outfit). The family rose as the cloaked people removed their hoods to reveal 3 men and 2 women. The Li clan elders. "Welcome home master Xiao Lang, mistress Yingfa, master Lang and mistress Nadeshiko, you have been missed," one of the men said bowing to the family.

"It is good to see you are well master Traslern," Syaoran replied in a non-to-polite tone. Syaoran was none to fond of the head elder. He was one of few who had disagreed to his and Sakura's marriage. He believed that Sakura's magic was to powerful for the blood line and that a child would be unable to handle it. However when Nade was born with little or no magic everyone calmed that notion. That was until Wolf was born. Wolf showed from very early on signs of both elemental magic and the magic of the Sakura cards. By the age of 6 Wolf had mastered the elemental sword techniques Syaoran had used when chasing the Clow cards, by the age of 8 he had successfully converted replicas of the Sakura cards into Wolf/Lang cards and finally by the age of 11 Wolf had beaten Traslern in the magical duels. This would have worried all the elders if Wolf hadn't acted like a normal child all his life. He never lost his child like qualities while training got up to all sorts of mischief. He would skip classes, climb trees, hide things from the house staff, play pranks on the elders and much more. Apart from his visit to hospital to have his tonsils out Wolf had been in the hospital a total of 9 time with broken bones from falling out of trees. In short Wolf was as normal as he could be but this did not satisfy Traslern. Not only did he think Sakura's magic was strong but he also saw her as pure and perfect. He thought that when Sakura married Syaoran that purity and perfection was lost. I did not help that Traslern was infatuated with her and Sakura never gave him a second look.

Mia watched as Traslern addressed Syaoran. She did not like the feeling she got from this man. He had a strange aura about him that made her feel uneasy. She also noticed the flash in Wolf's aura as the man turned his gaze on Sakura who gave him her usual sweet smile before kissing Syaoran full on the lips. 'You go Sakura,' Mia thought.

"Well shall we...um start the festivities. After all it is Christmas," Sakura said a bit breathless.

"Yes let's," one of the female elders agreed and the group dispersed as music started up. Wolf began to make his way back to Mia when someone caught his arm roughly. "Well young master Lang still acting the innocent I see," Traslern hissed.

"I don't need to act you old git," Wolf spat back

"You insolent Chibi Teme," Traslern growled placing a large hand around Wolf's throat and shoved him against the nearest wall. Wolf tried to get Traslern's hand away from his throat but he was finding it hard to breath. Traslern had been laughing but stopped when someone tapped his shoulder. He turned to face the person only to be sent sailing towards another wall by a violet aura charged fist. "TEME! Keep you kuso hand off of my koishii," Mia growled as her violet aura crackled around her. All that could now be heard in the hall was a low groan as Traslern slipped down the wall.
